Is it permissible for an adopted daughter to inherit from the one who adopted her, just as his sons do?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: I killed a man and went to the hospital. Is it permissible for her to stay with my sons, or should I bequeath to her one-third?

Answer:
There is no harm in a bequest, but as for inheritance, no, she has no right to inheritance, because she is not one of your children nor a relative of yours; she is a stranger. She has no share in the inheritance. However, there is no harm in bequeathing to her some of your wealth.
